C445 Coca-cola hand in hand (2/2)
”Yes.” Zhou Hao said: ”To be honest, the reason why you Coca-Cola wanted to buy my 'Astral River' was only because you guys had your eyes on 'Fruit Pot Orange'. Now, I might as well sell you the formula for 'Fruit Jelly Orange'. Isn't that exactly what you want it to be? ”
Zhou Hao's decision truly tempted Dai Jia, because after Sky River rejected their offer, in order to obtain the recipe for Fruit Jelly Orange, they sent a commercial spy organization to the Sky River to steal the recipe for Fruit Jelly Orange. That was, the Black Widow and Rodent. But up until now, the Black Widow and the others have yet to steal the formula for 'Fruit Orange', which made the Coca-Cola side anxious.
”CEO Dai, what do you mean?” Zhou Hao urged.
Dai Jia thought for a moment and asked, ”If you want to sell the 'Fruit Jelly Orange' formula, what kind of offer do you intend to make?”
Zhou Hao extended four fingers, and said indifferently: ”Four billion.”
Dai Jia's facial expression changed and he immediately shook his head. ”Impossible.”
”President Dai, don't refuse. I'm not talking about the United States dollar, I'm talking about the RMB.” Zhou Hao laughed.
Dai Jia glanced at Zhou Hao and thought, of course, it wouldn't be US dollars. With four billion US dollars, he could buy four or five companies with the size of the ”Milky Way”.
Then, he heard Zhou Hao laugh: ”This is called asking for a sky-high price to pay back on the spot. If CEO Dai isn't satisfied with this price, you can tell us what number you think is appropriate, so that we can have a chance to discuss it.”
”At most one billion.” Dai Jia thought for a while before replying.
”President Dai, aren't you being too insatiable?” The smile on Zhou Hao's face disappeared, ”Our 'Fruit Jelly Orange' can earn more than that in a year.”
Dai Jia instantly smiled bitterly, ”Mr Zhou, you must also forgive our company's hardships. Although our Coca-Cola Company is a large global group, the turnover of every fund is very strict. Besides, right now, Jiangsu's Fengshan Group also released the same fruit flesh and orange juice as the fruit granules. Although you guys have won this case, but even if we bought the 'Fruit Jelly Orange' recipe, we would still have to compete with the Fengshan Group, and need to invest more funds. ”
Zhou Hao was quiet for a moment, and then Liang Xiaobing helped him pour some wine.
”President Dai, you are also Chinese. Do you know which concept is the strongest among Chinese?” Zhou Hao suddenly asked.
Dai Jia froze for a moment, then recalled Zhou Hao's purpose for inviting him here, so she probed, ”You mean, this is a primal concept?”
Zhou Hao was impressed by Dai Jiaxi's agility. He smiled and said, ”Dai, CEO, you are right. Chinese people have a strong preconceived notion, especially in terms of consumption. ”Although 'A lot of fresh oranges' is the same type of products as our 'fruit orange', but because we, 'fruit orange', have a lot of publicity when we launched the market and have taken up most of the juice drinks market in a short period of time, we know that 'fruit orange' is still the leading product of our domestic juice drinks market so far.”
Without waiting for Dai Jia to speak, Zhou Hao continued, ”Do you know why the Wireless Television Limited in Hong Kong can suppress the Asia Television Limited all these years? It's just because of inertia that the television viewers in Hong Kong are already used to watching the Wireless Television Limited, which is something Asia Television Limited can't compare to. If it wasn't for the mistake in making the Wireless Television Limited this time, I believe it wouldn't have been so easy for the Asia Television Limited to rise again. ”
Hearing Zhou Hao's words, Dai Jia instantly nodded his head, and in his heart, he fully agreed with what Zhou Hao had said.
It was just that, if Dai Jia knew that Asia Television Limited was also Zhou Hao's property, he didn't know how he would react.
At this moment, Dai Jia instantly thought of a question. He asked Zhou Hao, ”Mr Zhou, since your 'Fruit Fruit Orange' is so competitive, why did you sell it to us?”
